How Tiger Got Its Stripes

On my husband's birthday, I poured my heart into preparing a feast and selecting the perfect gift. Yet, he didn't come home. Instead, I received a picture message—a snapshot of him at the hospital, standing outside the OB-GYN ward, his hand resting tenderly on his childhood crush's belly. Beneath the photo, a message read: [The best birthday gift and a symbol of our decade-long bond.] Furious, I called her. "Don't you know he's married?" Before I could say more, my husband snatched the phone and lashed out at me. "Yvonne just wanted to share the joy of becoming a mother. Why are you overreacting? "Yvonne and I have been best friends for over a decade. Your petty jealousy is disgusting!" I once believed his busyness was for our future, but now I knew—he had been busy supporting the girl of his dreams through her pregnancy. Clutching my own stomach, I bit my lip to stop the tears from falling. Ten years of love had drained away. It was time to let go.

Pagkatapos ng tatlong taong pagpapakasal, Ryah Zovee realized her husband, Grayson Kai Sandoval, true priorities lay with his first love, Zoe Klein. Hindi maramdaman ni Ryah ang pagpapahalaga sa kaniya ni Grayson kahit sa family gathering o business magmula noong dumating si Zoe. Tanging kay Zoe siya nakatuon. Isang araw ay sinabi ni Grayson na si Zoe ang dapat mamahala sa kumpanya at siya ang may karapat-dapat sa posisyon kaysa kay Ryah. Dahilan iyon para masaktan siya ng lubusan at gumawa ng desisyon na umalis. “Kaya kong buhayin ang anak ko. Our paths have diverged, and it's best if we part ways.” Pagkatapos ng maraming taon, binago ni Ryah ang kaniyang pamumuhay. Mabilis siyang umangat sa kaniyang negosyo at nagkaroon ng koneksiyon sa iba't ibang tao, lalo na sa isang CEO na siyang may-ari ng pinakamalaking kumpanya. Kalaunan, biglang dumating si Grayson na humihingi ng kapatawaran. Bumungad sa kaniya ang nagtatanong na si Ryah. “Para saan pa? Grayson? ” Ngunit hindi inaasahan ay dumating ang CEO, claiming Ryah and their daughter as his own. "You're too late," the CEO declared, his possessiveness unmistakable. "She's mine, and I'll do whatever it takes to keep her and our daughter safe." Mapapatawad nga kaya ni Ryah si Grayson? O mananatili nang sarado ang puso ni Ryah para kay Grayson dahil sa pagkakamaling nagawa nito?
